>Description:
gcc can't seem to generate the specialization in the example
code.  It gives the error

simple.C: In function `int main()':
simple.C:25: no match for call to `(Tensor1<double>) (Index<'i'> &)'

KCC version 3.4 and IBM's Visual Age C++ v5.0 both compile
without complaints, so I'm reasonably sure that this is
allowed by the language.

If I get rid of either of the template<>'s, i.e. change 

template <class T>
class Tensor1

to 

class Tensor1

or change

template<char i>
double operator()(Index<i> &index)

to

double operator()(Index<'i'> &index)

then it compiles fine.  But that doesn't give me the
functionality I need.
This may be a duplication of bugs 509, 72, and/or 45,
though they don't seem exactly the same.
>How-To-Repeat:
template<char i>
class Index
{
public:
  Index() {};
};

template <class T>
class Tensor1
{
public:
  template<char i>
  double operator()(Index<i> &index)
  {
    return 2.0;
  }
};

int main()
{
  Index<'i'> i;

  Tensor1<double> t1;

  t1(i);
}

To compile, it's just 

g++ simple.C
